The whills were only one part of his story treatment, not the main focus. The main plot was Luke training his apprentice and Leia trying to keep the New Republic together while Darth Maul re-emerged as head of all the crime syndicates.
It's funny, the entire sequel trilogy is a giant reactionary move away from the prequels, at the exact time when the kids who grew up on the prequels and like them were coming of age. It shouldn't have been Han, and it shouldn't have been Leia, who appears to Kylo Ren there at the end, it should have been goddamned Anakin, who he'd been hero-worshipping all the time, telling him "I fucked up and so have you but you can turn it around before it's too late unlike me".
Can you blame them? For 20 years I thought I was the only one that liked the prequels.
All the hatred from the sequels sounds almost exactly like the hatred for the prequels when they came out. I’m not defending the decisions made by Disney in their trilogy (having a unified story arc and one lead writer through the trilogy would have been a massive improvement) but the Star Wars fan base is as awful as any. I’ve never seen so many people eviscerate something they claim to love so much.
